Have a few JNats up for sale. I've used these for a while now, and it's about time to move some of the smaller pieces on. Shipped by international courier. Feel free to message me if you would like any more information/pictures, and don't worry, the gdrive is a burner account. All pictures should be 3000x4000px, and all slurries were produced without diamond plates.
1. (Sold)Mikawa Shiro Nagura $55
This one is sealed. Brings out banding in the cladding and gives nice misty hagane. Good contrast as well, see pictures.

Size: 130x65x18
2. Renge Uchigumori$95 $75
Medium hardness, slurries nicely, clean, and a little finer than No.3. Quite pretty renge pattern. Small but I didn't have much trouble using it. Not much to say here. I found out that this one requires quite a bit of pressure, just some quirks of the stone.

Size: 88x66x30, 415g
3. Withdrawn
4. (Sold)Renge Suita Koppa $75
A little piece of Shobudani. Also medium hardness. I personally like to use it with atoma slurry, but it's not necessary. Nice jigane banding, please see pictures. The "blurry" kiridashi pic is to show how it reflects light.

Size: 180x73x16 (Length, Width, Height of the triangle)
5. (Sold)Aizu $150
Friable Aizu on the fine side. Really cool seabed patterns, aggressive edge. Around 6k.

Size: 198x65x30
6. (Sold)Asagi $30
As you'd expect. Hard, but not super hard like something out of Wakasa. There are a few kanji "remaining" on the back, but I can barely make out 石 and 中, which tells us a grand total of absolutely nothing. I use this one as a hard backing on which to try the mud from different stones (changes how the polish looks, contrast etc).

8. Asano stamped Meijiro$35 $30

Weight: 158g
9. Large black koppa $20
Now this one is weird. The seller sent it together with a suita that I'm keeping. It's stamped with 巢板, which is pretty fishy to me. It's not a 黑蓮華巢板/kuro renge suita, it's straight up black with some pale yellow lines. Can't feel the lines, nor do they seem to make a difference. I'm going to guess that this is not a suita, but it still produces a polish, albeit not one with the highest contrast, or most detail. Medium hardness, and it is big. It's probably not economical to buy this alone.
